From The Ashes....

Somewhere in the long ago as the saying goes we have all heard

The story of a devastating fire and the rise of a beautiful bird

Called the Phoenix it arose form the ashes of total devastation

We have a city by that name yet my rebirth in a different location

The total devastation of a life shattered my past

But I rise to a bright and loving world at last

From the financial and emotional maelstrom I arise

And finally see the world through my opened eyes

Love and kindness do exist but sometimes not where you expect

I had so long pretended and tried to gain from others respect

All of the while filled with self loathing and despair

Believing that for me no where would anyone ever care

I am so glad to report that at last I am proven wrong

Reunited with a good friend now we continue our song

It would seem that nothing more could be needed

Yet we felt an emptiness that must be heeded

Yes something was still missing another part

Required to complete my still yearning heart

My friend felt it too and while happier we knew exactly why

We were always three so one more needed to brighten the sky

She has arrived and the love and joy of we three all around

With the support of such good friends confidence will abound

So from the disastrous circumstances of our collective past

Out of the ashes rise happiness, hope and love at long last

For the two best friends anyone could ever have, Lizzy and Dee Jay - my love and my gratitude.

I am so happy for you three. It is so wonderful that you all have each other to lean on. Each coming from wives that didn't want this side of you but coming into a home that is filled with love and support that each of you need. That is almost like a fairytale but we all know it is for real.

I am sure Dee Jay misses her old home and her Amish boy friends, truthfully her flowers. Yet the three who met in I believe Memphis and now back together. I really hope things work out. All of you have been through trying circumstances over the last few years.

Beautiful words Sally :D I have not known you, Donna Jean, and Lizzy for all that long. However I am aware of some of the history, having read back into the MTF forum archives a bit. This announcement perhaps changes some of the dynamics of the forum moderating team somewhat :rolleyes: The Internet is great, however nothing replaces face to face human interactions.

Love to you all,

Cindy

Beautiful and poignant words, Sally. The three of you have been down some lonely and difficult

roads, but the roads have converged and become one, maybe even of yellow brick. :)

The significance of what has happened is going to take time to really adjust to. I completely understand. It took me about three years or so to truly be over my divorce emotionally.

You all three have undergone a tremendous change in your lives. I am glad that you are all together to hold onto.

All my love to you Lizzy, Sally, Dee Jay

      Trump Vows to Roll Back Title IX Protections for Trans Youth "On Day One"

      By awkward-yet-sweet · Posted

      If that happens, a lot of things I don't want to see might also be codified into law.  And some things that shouldn't be law might not get repealed.  To me, progress in one area isn't worth the price we'd have to pay in several other areas.     For me, voting on LGBTQ issues always ends up as an "out of the frying pan, but into the fire" sort of event.

      Trying out a new wig. Got my reading glasses on. I've also got dark roots now - first time in years.

      masculine women

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      Thea, your post made me think of a comic named Chloe Petts whom I saw recently on Hannah Gadsby's Gender Agenda comedy special on Netflix. She is a cisgender masculine lesbian. She is brilliant and so funny. I was intrigued by her identification - specifically masculine, not butch. And it seems to me there is a difference.

      How's it going fellas

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      Today I had a dr appt. When I checked in, I was asked my surname, which I gave. Apparently there were two patients with appointments at that time with that same surname. The receptionist asked, "Are you (my legal name which is feminine) or Paul?" I got such a kick out of it not being assumed I had the feminine name.

      ... and misogyny.

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      That must have felt affirming, albeit perhaps weirdly so. However, I'd construe that more broadly (no pun intended) as sexism rather than misogyny where the latter would imply contempt. Also, incidentally, I've heard chivalry referred to as "benevolent sexism".

      MaeBe's Trail of Discovery

      My boss is in a panic. His business is a couple straws away from breaking a camel in half. He's just handling the stress very poorly.   My dad, though. He's handling things pretty well, as long as I continue to don't get massively offended by being called: son, boy, etc. His eldest is leaving the State and looks so different than he's been used to over the years. I haven't told him I'm on HRT, but to be fair the changes haven't been massive. I've always had boobs, more so after COVID weight gain and made more obvious with its loss, but now I'm not hiding them--and obviously wearing a bra. The estrogen has done some work, but nothing major (sadly). I think the biggest HRT changes have been my skin and a mild amount of fat redistribution.   Today I'm wearing my cheater, I almost have cleavage! :D I need to get another t-shirt bra to keep a good rotation. I only have two, one push-up, and the rest are unlined (great for Summer, but not great for my Summer wardrobe ).

      Constant estrogen deficiency problem - please, help me, I'm helpless

      By JenniferB · Posted

      I eat a ketogenic diet and have had no problems. I don't know about your case but I suspect it is the estrogen. Research the types of ways to take estrogen. Pay close attention to the bloodwork results. If they are not satisfactory, bring it up with your doctor. I take injectables, which are fully covered by insurance. It may not be the route for you, but something to consider. I emphasize to do your research and good luck. You can solve this. Be persistent.    Jennifer

      I'm in a magenta blouse under a baby blue buttoned cardigan - still a little cool here in the northeast today - with dark blue jeans. Oh, and my favorite flame colored copper feather earrings.

      By JenniferB · Posted

      This is my opinion, so take it for that. Fatigue is based more on what you eat. Eat a more healthy diet, and stay away from ultra-processed foods and that should help. Think of eating the way we did a couple hundred years ago before the industrial revolution. It's just a thought.   Jennifer

      A Reintroduction

      By April Marie · Posted

      Welcome back, Jennifer! As a relative newbie to the forum and to transition, I look forward to getting to know you and share in your experiences.

      I like the fact that you found support and have close members of your life. That is very important. No matter where you are on your journey, you have to have the support. Or you drift, and you question yourself.    Looking forward to your progress,   Jennifer
